Case studies and best practices
This publication describes Utrecht’s approach to localising the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs or Global Goals) outlined in the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The aim is to share Utrecht’s experiences with others working to achieve the SDGs at local, national and international levels, as a means of knowledge-sharing and cooperation. Like many other public, private and non-profit sector actors, Utrecht has adopted the SDGs as a guiding framework to orient the city’s development, as well as its cooperation with other cities, to be sustainable and inclusive. The municipality’s top priorities are to increase awareness of the SDGs amongst Utrecht’s residents and businesses, and to stimulate them to take supportive and (where possible) crosssectional action.
